    About this ebook

    Two young boys with their parents emigrated from Chechnya to the United States to seek freedom from oppression in the country of their birth.

    One was in grade school, the other just starting high school. They were accepted by their peers and became good athletes and well-liked in their communities.

    They attended a mosque and were radicalized by their associations until ultimately they developed hatred for their new country, and decided to become bombers for their Islamic religion.

      Addendum

      INTRODUCTION

      The country was stunned when on April 15, 2013 the Boston Marathon suffered a terrible bombing when innocent civilians’ lives were lost forever and many lives were damaged. Two young homegrown Islamic terrorists bombed spectators and runners of the beloved marathon that has been a joyous rite of spring in Boston for many years. This blackest of days will surely go down in marathon history and we will forever pay tribute to the memories of lives lost or maimed there.

      The shocking news immediately flashed around the world with condolences being received from many countries as the participants in this popular event, in the thousands with many seriously injured by the bombing, came from countries throughout the world.

      This is a story about that event told in fictional form but including many of the actual incidences associated with the bombing.

      There’s much to be learned about these two young men who perpetrated this evil act. Why did they do it? Was it religious fervor alone or some other additional motivation? Will this terrible event answer questions that all are asking about a possible international conspiracy of Islam to take over America and the world?

      There is currently much discussion about the motives of Islam. Many, including Pres. Obama, have said that Islam is a religion of peace. Cursory examination of the readily available and copious documentation, should easily lead to the conclusion that Islam is and has been for 1400 years a very important factor in fomenting international violence in the name of Islam.

      In fact, is Islam truly a religion? Where it is empowered, it controls every element of the citizen’s lives. What are the laws of the land? What are the standards of morality? These are controlled by the laws of Islam. Essentially all the laws of the land are controlled by Islam. Can this be only a religion?

      No, it really is a theocracy in every sense of the word and should be recognized as such. It should not be granted the privileges of a religion including tax status relief.

      Continuing investigations proceed by the FBI and the CIA to uncover what, if any, connections can be found with the Boston bombing as part of an international Islamic conspiracy.

      PREFACE

      This is a tragic story.

      Tragic, because it tells the tale of the loss of life and limb, of hundreds of innocent women and children, out to enjoy the beloved Boston Marathon, on a sunny day in the beautiful city of Boston, Massachusetts. It is a tale of two Islamic zealots who perpetrated this horrible disaster. These were two boys growing up in America who were radicalized by Islam.

      The Boston Marathon is a regular annual event held on Patriots’ Day to honor the anniversary of the American Revolutionary Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.

      These were the first battles of the American Revolutionary War. The day is observed publicly but, though the law encourages people to celebrate it, it is not treated as a public holiday. Re-enactments of the first battles of the Revolution are conducted in Lexington at the Green, and at The Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts.

      In the morning, mounted Revolutionary soldiers with state police escorts retrace the rides of Paul Revere, calling out warnings that the British are coming, the British are coming.

      This sad story recounts how two young boys came to this country from the old world with their parents to apply for asylum in the United States because of religious persecution in their home country, Chechnya, which was under Russian rule.

      They were accepted in America, the home of immigrants, where all are welcome regardless of race, color, or religious creed and where opportunity to achieve any dream is available and open to all with the energy to work hard in this wonderful world of freedom and opportunity.

      The boys were well accepted in their communities as they grew to manhood participating and achieving excellence in their local public schools athletic activities and gaining admirers from their
